    I suppose that having started making my own wire sometime in the
    Calcolithic Age I just always thought that the purpose of the square
    wire being formed on the rolling mill was just to reduce the ingot
    in size prior to drawing it down through the appropriate profile draw
    plate. I never in all my years thought that the purpose of the
    rolling mill was to make finished wire. Is this a new practice for
    the small shop? My poor old rolling mill is over a hundred years old
    and I sure wouldn't want to make finished wire with it, even though
    it does make reasonably true square wire.
